Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-games

Not really a bug but a big annoyance . . .

Every time I win a game, the scores data popup window appears - I couldn't find a way to disable this behavior. It is a PITA to keep having to click away this window. It would be nice to have an option to disable the popup but still allow access to scores from the menu.

the upstream bug has been closed with this comment

"There are two ways to end the game. Either you score a high score or you don't.
In the first case the high score list appears so that you my enter your name.
Otherwise you get a pop-up telling you that the score did not make the high
score. Each of these dialogs have a "new game" button. Even if you did not show
a dialog you would still have to click something to start the new game. So I
don't understand how not showing the high score is any less of an annoyance.

With regard to having a preference to not show high score at the end of the
game I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I just don't see the point.

If I misunderstood your bug report please reopen it with a more detailed
description of the annoyance. "

Doing the same with the distribution task, feel free to reopen with some arguments if you disagree though
